It's quite sad when the whole anime world is tune into one show. It gathers and stockpiles the views, taking control during that particular anime season and remains in control until another show comes in and still the top position back.
It happens quite usually and it's what we have been seeing with Solo Leveling this anime season. It's flashy Graphics and wonderful fight scenes have drawn people's views away from other shows.
Not minding if the show is in probably the greatest arc which is the turning point of the full story.

Blue Exorcist: The Blue Night Saga


Plot

Starting from the end of the beyond the snow saga. The world is put in chaos as everyone is now aware of the existence of demons.
Yukio Okumura joins the Illuminati and Rin Okumura takes up on Mephisto's offer, learning about his mother, Satan, and the most classified secret by the Vatican. The secret of the Blue Night.

It's a sad thing when a show doesn't get its flowers because of another show doing way too well, and I felt this pain sadly while watching this season of Blue Exorcist.
The blue night saga doesn't have much fight scenes, to be exact blue exorcist really isn't of the action genre yet where it lacks in flashy battles, it makes for it in lore, plot and story telling.
And this arc had these factors in excess..
We follow Rin as he goes back in time and learns everything. Watching his mum grow up and the existence of Satan was particular satisfying because this is one of the greatest wonders and questions about the show.
In the past we were given only a sneak peak of their mom through a flashback by Shiro Fujimoto but now we understand her character clearly.

We also get to understand Satan and the lore about him particular to this show. It's quite a comedic tale but it works well.
Another secret that was led bare in this arc was the true purpose of the True Cross Academy. I did have my personal views and beliefs about it but it seems I was wrong.

The Blue Night is something that has been aura farmed for quite some time in the anime and I'm glad it came out as great as it did.
It was shocking how such a world shaking even the birth of Rin and Yukio was and it was emotionally fulfilling to see how Rin reacted to it.

It's clear that this season wasn't one meant for fighting, a turning arc yes, but still a preparation for the final or at least second to final saga.
We've learned the truth about the Illuminati, the world has learned the truth about demons, and Rin has finally accepted and some-what tamed his demon heart.

At this point in the story everybody has had their own minor issues and arc and I think the next one would be about the Shiemi and her position in the Grigori.
The last episode of the Blue Night Saga aired on Sunday last week and since then it's just had me wanting more.

If you haven't gotten on this season yet. Solo Leveling is ending tomorrow so you have enough of a reason to watch this😍
